You have cited Galatians 3:9 and 13 multiple times in this thread; it is disingenuous to talk about faith being "credited" as righteousness while referencing that chapter and claim verse 6 (the "context") wasn't specifically cited. This is distraction over substance. Please try supporting the claim that salvation faith is "credited" as righteousness. Referencing Abraham's faith in God's promise (whatever your source) is erroneous and unpersuasive; that example of living faith has zero to do with the point of salvation.
If you are not violating context, then why do you cite Romans 4:24 and proceed to conflate its reference to ongoing faith in God the Father as a believer with saving faith in Jesus Christ at the point of salvation?
p.s. I am not a Calvinist, a fact clear to anyone who pays attention to my posts.

Many posters have said they were not Calvinist, yet were 4 or 5 point advocates of the TULIP. Which of these doctrines do you disavow?
Did I conflate an individual's faith in Christ with "ongoing in God the Father as a believer with saving faith in Jesus Christ at the point of salvation. Nope. Did I say anything about "ongoing faith" in reference in Romans 4? Nope so more "distraction" on display. What did I say?
Romans 4:23-25 (NASB)
Now not for his sake only was it written that it [righteous faith]was credited to him, but for our sake also, to whom it [righteous faith] will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.
The bogus claim was made this "credited as righteousness faith" did not result in our election for salvation. Might one humbly ask the contextual expert how we are justified, if not through faith in Christ and the Father? No answer will be forthcoming. -

Your phrase "righteous faith" is not scriptural; faith is not righteous or righteousness, righteousness is "from faith" (Romans 10:6). Paul in Romans 4:23-25 is not speaking of righteousness imputed from Christ at the point of salvation, he is talking about believers walking by faith in God's promises . That same righteousness is "about to be" (μέλλει) credited to us "who are believers" (present active participle) in the One who raised Christ from the dead, i.e. the Father. God the Father is not the object of saving faith, He is the object of our living faith.
We come to the Father through Christ (John 14:6) and trust Him for provision, blessing. and righteousness (Matthew 6:31-33). -

Annexed with this redemption through Christ, strictly by His death is forgiveness of sins. Lets look at two scriptures where this is true Eph 1:7
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Col 1:14
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
The elect have these blessings before they even realize it, redemption and forgiveness of sins. There's no such thing as Christ dying for one and they dont as a result have redemption and forgiveness through His Blood, because its through Christ alone.13 -
Next we get a sample absurdity, where salvation through Christ is not the same as salvation by grace through faith.
And finally look at the two verses again, redemption through His blood is "in (within) Him."
Also note, salvation before creation is precluded by 1 Peter 2:9-10, because we once had not been chosen as God's people and once had not received mercy. If we had been somehow placed as foreseen individuals into foreseen incarnate Christ whose death was foreseen, we could not have existed without being chosen or having received mercy. It is a lock. -

On and on, now this poster says 2 Peter 2:1 says "nothing about the blood of Christ!"
Does this poster agree Christ bought with His blood the person headed for destruction? Or does the naysayer deny the obvious.
Does Ephesians 1:4 say individuals were in Christ before Creation? Nope - that view is precluded by 1 Peter 2:9-10
How is this obviously false teaching supported in light of scripture? The scripture is ignored.

What's redemption through Christ ?
Its also Justification freely, notice Rom 3:24
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
This is an unbelievable result from redemption, that religionist cant accept, and that's if Christ died for one, they are freely Justified by His Grace through redemption that is in Christ Jesus. The religionist insists that faith is a condition for this free justification, but that's a erroneous teaching that detracts from redemption.14 -

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
Timothy 2:6
who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
Note the rejection of Christ having bought with His blood those heading for destruction. Christ laid down His life for all, those to be saved, and those never to be saved.
Does scripture tell us Christ bought people with something other than his blood? No, of course not!! Those that deny the cross, deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. -

Why not answer the question, is Jesus the only all powerful God able to limit His knowledge? A yes or no will suffice.
Mar 13:32
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
How could Jesus who is "all knowing" not know? How could the Holy Spirit who is all knowing not know since He searches all things?
Y1 will once again evade answering, because his claims are unbiblical.
